His Promises

He gave her a tiny red box on their second Christmas together. He watched as she opened his present for her. Her eyes widened, seeing the three rings inside the box.

"These are just promise rings, my love," he assured her.

She smiled up at him.

"The first is a promise to always be there for you," he said as he slipped the first ring on her finger.

"A promise to cherish and love you always." Another silver band joined her finger.

He held up the last ring. "This ring, I'll keep, for the day I promise myself to you."
